Implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility Program PT. Allegrindo and Their Benefits for The Social Economic Life of The Community Around Nagori Urung Panei, Purba District, Simalungun Regency

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility is an activity carried out by a company as a form of concern and responsibility for the surrounding community. The purpose of this study was to determine the form of PT Allegrindo's CSR program and its benefits for the socio-economic life of the surrounding community. This type of research is a qualitative research using descriptive methods. The data collection technique was carried out by means of observation, in-depth interviews, and literature study. The results showed that PT Allegrindo's CSR program is still in the form of a caricative (Charity). This program is a form of the company's response to responding to demands from the surrounding community. The program is contained in the fields of education, agriculture, and socio-religion. It is undeniable that the company's CSR program can provide benefits for the current socio-economic life of the surrounding community. However, PT Allegrindo's CSR program has not been able to provide long-term benefits for the socio-economic life of the surrounding community. Companies in general, and PT Allegrindo in particular are expected to be able to implement community empowerment-based CSR programs so that they can provide benefits to the surrounding community in the long term.
